FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1.    Financial risk factors
The Company is exposed to different financial risks: (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The risk management of the Company aims to minimize the adverse effects of financial risks affecting the company.

(a)    Market risk

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company has exposure to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk.

The Company has developed manuals and procedures to manage the market risk, which goal is to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.

For the foregoing, Management monitors the evolution of fuel price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, quantifies their exposures and their risk, and develops and executes hedging strategies.


(i)    Fuel-price risk

Exposure:

For the execution of its operations, the Company purchases a fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54 USGC, which is subject to the fluctuations of international fuel prices.

Mitigation:

To hedge the fuel-price risk exposure, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, such as West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which may have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity.
Fuel Hedging Results:

During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized losses of US$(18.1) million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year. During the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized gains of US$15.7 million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year.

As of December 31, 2024, the market value of the fuel positions amounted to US$7.7 million (positive). At the end of December 2023, this market value was US$22.1 million (positive).
The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:

(*) The percentage shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).

Sensitivity analysis

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. Therefore, the policy is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

The current hedge positions are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity.

The following table shows the sensitivity of financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the price of fuel and their effect on equity.
The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$5 per barrel in the underlying reference price curve at the end of December 2024 and the end of December of 2023 . The projection period was defined until the end of the last fuel hedging contract in force, being the last business day of the second half of 2025.

Given the fuel hedging structure for the year 2024, which considers a portion free of hedges, a vertical drop of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an impact of approximately US$156.7 million lower fuel cost. For the same period, a vertical rise of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an approximate impact of US$138.1 million in higher fuel costs.
(ii)    Foreign exchange rate risk:

Exposure:

The functional currency of the financial statements of the parent company is the US dollar, so that the risk of the Transactional and Conversion exchange rate arises mainly from the Company's business, strategic and accounting operating activities that are expressed in a monetary unit other than the functional currency.

The subsidiaries of LATAM are also exposed to foreign exchange risk whose impact affects the Company's Consolidated Income.

The largest operational exposure to LATAM's exchange risk comes from the concentration of businesses in Brazil, which are mostly denominated in Brazilian real (R$), and are actively managed by the Company.

At a lower concentration, the Company is also exposed to the fluctuation of other currencies, such as: Euro, Pound sterling, Australian dollar, Colombian peso, Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Paraguayan guarani, Mexican peso, Peruvian Sol and New Zealand dollar.
Mitigation:

The Company mitigates currency risk exposures by contracting hedging or non-hedging derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.


Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX):
As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized gains of US$10.0 million for FX hedging derivatives net of premiums reflected in exchange rate. At the end of December of 2023, the Company recognize gains for US$10.1 million for FX hedging derivatives reflected in exchange rate.

As of December 31, 2024, the market value of hedging FX derivative positions is US$3.1 million (positive). As of December 31, 2023, the market value of the hedging FX derivative positions was US$1.5 million (negative). As of December 31, 2024, the Company has current hedging FX derivatives for US$165 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company holds current hedging FX derivatives of US$404 million.

Sensitivity analysis:

A depreciation of the R$/US$ exchange rate, negatively affects the Company's operating cash flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted.

The following table shows the sensitivity of current hedging FX derivative instruments according to reasonable changes in the exchange rate and its effect on equity.

Impact of Exchange rate variation in the Consolidated Income Statements (Foreign exchange gains/losses).

In the case of TAM S.A., whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its assets and liabilities is expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from US dollar to Brazilian reais, they have an impact on the result of TAM S.A., which is consolidated in the Company's Income Statement.

In order to reduce the impact on the Company's result caused by appreciations or depreciations of R$/US$, the Company carries out internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US$ for TAM S.A.

The following table shows the impact of the Exchange Rate variation on the Consolidated Income Statement when the R$/US$ exchange rate appreciates or depreciates by 10%:

Impact of the exchange rate variation in the Equity, from translating the subsidiaries financial statements into US Dollars (Cumulative Translate Adjustment).
Since the functional currency of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries is the Brazilian real, the Company presents the effects of the exchange rate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) by converting the Statement of financial position and Income statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

(iii)    Interest -rate risk:

Exposure:

The Company has exposure to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.

The Company is mainly exposed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and other less relevant interest rates such as Brazilian Interbank Certificates of Deposit (“CDI”) .

Of the company's financial debt subject to variable rates, all of the contracts maintain exposure to the SOFR reference rate.
Mitigation:
Currently, 76% (50% as of December 31, 2023) of the debt is fixed. The variable debt, is indexed to the reference rate based on SOFR.
Likewise, most of the company's liquidity is denominated in dollars and indexed to a return rate similar and with alike fluctuation to the SOFR rate, which helps reduce exposure.
Rate Hedging Results:
During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any losses for premiums paid. At the end of December of 2023, losses of US$1.8 million were recognized corresponding to the recognition in profit for premiums paid.

As of December 31, 2024, the value of the interest rate derivative positions corresponding to operating leases to fix the income of future plane arrivals amounted to US$4.68 million (negative), at the end of December 2023 the Company did not have interest rate derivatives outstanding.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an increase in the right-of-use asset due to the expiration of derivatives associated with some aircraft leases amounted to US$0.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a decrease in the right-of-use asset due to the expiration of derivatives for US$14.9 million associated with the aircraft lease. On this same date, a lower depreciation expense of the right-of-use asset for US$1.9 million (positive) was recognized. At the end of December of 2023, the Company recognized US$1.1 (positive) million for this same concept.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company settled derivatives associated with hedges of leased aircraft for US$0.1 million (negative)
Sensitivity analysis:
The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current market conditions each date.

A large part of the derivatives of current rates are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts, therefore, a variation in interest rates has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, whose changes affect the equity of the entity.

The calculations were made by vertically increasing (decreasing) 100 basis points of the interest rate curve, both scenarios being reasonably possible according to historical market conditions.

The sensitivity calculation hypothesis must assume that the forward curves of interest rates will not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation of the flows. In addition, the interest rate structure is dynamic over time.

During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not record any losses for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement for this type of coverage.
(b)Credit risk
Credit risk occurs when the counterparty does not comply with its obligations to the Company under a specific contract or financial instrument, resulting in a loss in the market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities). The customer portfolio as of December 31, 2024 has experienced an decreased by 4% compared to the balance as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to an decrease in passenger transportation operations (travel agencies and corporate) that decreased by 2% in its sales, mainly affecting the payment methods credit card 2%, and cash sales 1%. In relation to the cargo business, it presented a increase in its operations of 14% compared to December 2023. There was special consideration for the Expected Credit Loss calculation for the clients with balance at the year end that management considered risky. The Expected Credit Loss at the end of December 2024 had a decrease of 14% compared to the end of December 2023, as a result of the decrease in the portfolio due to collection, and due to the application of write-offs.

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operational activities and its financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other types of instruments, exchange rate transactions and derivatives contracts.
To reduce the credit risk related to operational activities, the company has implemented credit limits to limit the exposure of its debtors, which are permanently monitored for the LATAM network, when deemed necessary, agencies have been blocked for cargo and passenger businesses.

(i)Financial activities

Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, private investment funds and short-term mutual funds. These investments are booked as Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets.
In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) its credit rating, and (ii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these two parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous two and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.

The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.


(ii) Operational activities

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), international organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay their debt, it is excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions.

Under certain of the Company’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions have the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that financial institution, but for which the Company has not yet provided the air transportation. Additionally, the financial institutions have the ability to require additional collateral reserves or withhold payments related to receivables to be collected if increased risk is perceived related to liquidity covenants in these agreements or negative balances occur.

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Billing Settlement Plan (“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities.

The sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.

Credit quality of financial assets

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently. The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.

(c)    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay its obligations.

Due to the cyclical nature of its business, the operation and investment needs, along with the need for financing, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as Cash and cash equivalents plus other short-term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations.

The balance of liquid funds, future cash generation and the ability to obtain financing, provide the Company with alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.
As of December 31, 2024, the balance of liquid funds is US$1,958 million (US$1,715 million as of December 31, 2023), which are invested in short-term instruments through financial entities with a high credit rating classification.

As of December 31, 2024, LATAM maintains three Revolving Credit Facility for a total of US$1,850 million, one for an amount of US$800 million, another for an amount of US$750 million and the last one for an amount of US$300 million. The first two of them are fully available and the last one is partially drawn with US$25 million available for the company at any time. With this, the sum of the three committed credit lines amounts to a total of US$1,575 million. The first of these lines is secured by and subject to the availability of certain collateral (i.e. aircraft, engines and spare parts). The second one, is secured by certain intangible assets of the Company, which are shared with both international bonds. The third one is secured by Spare Engines (See Note 31)

The Company's international credit rating is the result of its ability to meet its long-term financial commitments. As of December 31, 2024, The Company has a national scale rating of BBB+ with positive outlook by Fitch and a rating of BBB with positive outlook by Feller.

3.3.    Estimates of fair value.
At December 31, 2024, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:
1.Derivative financial instruments:
This category includes the following instruments:
-Interest rate derivative contracts,
-Fuel derivative contracts,
-Currency derivative contracts.
2.Financial Investments:
This category includes the following instruments:
-Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent)
The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at period end.
The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.

The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments (Level II). In the case of Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end. The book value of Other financial liabilities, current or non-current, do not include lease liabilities.
